Hrmmm? OK, I'll show my lack of non-UNIX PC knowledge here, what does a
Gravis Joypad connect to, and would one work on a Alpha Multia?

The code is in C, right? I've got a C compiler or two for RT-11 and one
for RSX-11M. Of course I've never gotten around to looking at the lcdproc
code, and I imagine that it's heavily involved with the Linux /proc
filesystem.

I think for RSX or RSTS it would be cool just to have it show how many
users are currently online and that the system is running. Of course
ideally more.

COOL, how much of that would be applicable to SunOS? Myself and one of the
people at work would love to see about connecting this to an Auspex, and
they run a chopped up version of SunOS.

Don't know about RSTS, but most if not all is available to RSX.
